My name is Carol Xu, and I recently graduated from Emory University with a degree in Music (Violin Performance). I’ve been playing the violin since I was 5, and I absolutely love sharing my passion with others. I truly believe that the skills gained from studying music are lifelong lessons that can be applied to excel in any future career. Six years ago, I began teaching in Dallas, and I have experience working with young students ranging from beginner level to those studying advanced repertoire.

I remember when I began learning the violin and was fortunate to have an extremely passionate teacher. Having such a solid foundation growing up, I now do everything in my power to encourage others to discover the joy of music. All of my happiest memories revolve around musical experiences—whether it's playing in a great orchestra or simply performing for others, I know that learning the violin offers an incredible new perspective on life.

As the Emory University Symphony Orchestra's previous concertmaster, I am well-equipped with the skills needed to help any student reach the next level in their music career. I have over 16 years of performance experience studying under world-renowned conductors and teachers. Throughout my music career, I have played with several youth orchestras and have traveled around the country to perform, including Carnegie Hall in New York. Additionally, I was honored to be the concertmaster at Emory University, where I performed on a 1687 Grancino violin. As a university graduate, I understand the importance of music for developing minds as well as the joy that it can bring. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or for more details—I can't wait to meet you!
